No need to send copies to me of messages that you're also sending to
this forum.

I don't have a position one way or another on whether any of your
packages is worse than others. I'm saying you are receiving resistance
because “I want more users of this package” is not a good enough reason
for it to be in Debian.

Great! Please promote your works and build up a community of users,
maintain the packages there, and let's see how well they survive.
When there is a sufficient user base and a clear need for a package to
be *in* Debian, at that time it will make sense to propose it for
inclusion.

How you promote your packages is up to you. But promotion of your
packages is not sufficient reason to propose inclusing them in Debian.
And that is why you're receiving resistance to these proposals.
